Don't kill me!!

[DUI]

hey guys, i shouldn't even be in this worthy part of the forum. i am a honda civic (vtec woot woot) owner and i'm looking into getting either a 180 or 240sx. i want rwd import (honda doesn't make anything other than the s2000 and i wont buy a mazda) but i need to do some home work. what are the main differences between a 180 and a 240, which one comes with a cvvt? please explain the engines, options and models. i want to know everything about these cars. i wont be doing a swap. i need to get on this because there is a rx-7 rolling around spokane that i want to toast. on my 125hp civic i have intake/exhaust, rims/tires and lights/wing..........fast enough to push sentra's around. and as far as handeling, i love the civics sharp handeling, is the 240/180 in the same ball park? thanks guys for helping me out!

you're lucky that i'm the first one to reply. my anger is focussed somewhere else right now.
before suislide closes this thread, you should think about reading the faq. every one of your questions is answered there. did you not think about that?

F.a.q. You!

[Hit_N_Run-player]

ummm, arent you in washington? me 2. And i doubt you'll ever get a 180sx legel in the states. The 180sx has a 1.8litre dual overhead cam, electronically fuel injected, turbo charged. Hence the 180sx having a [CA18DET]. This also is the reason for the number, 180sx is the 1.8 in the engine, get it? So, with this info, take a guess what the 240sx has?? of course it has a 2.4litre dual overhead cam, electronically fuel injected, NON-turbo engine. In the USDM versions of the silvia, we were only available with this, the KA24(D)E. I put the qoutes around the D because from 89-90 they had only single cam engines. Hope this info helps. Id type more but you can go find this stuff in the FAQ,good luck!!

I kinda hate making fun of people...but wow good thing the lights and wing give you 40hp...other wise those sentras would destroy you...and compared to any "real" sports car...the civic handles like shit...IMO

Unless you live anywhere other than the US your getting a 240. dont worry about the 180... pretend it doesnt exist because if you learn about it your gonna start calling your 240 a 180 and then I'll heve to kill you.

P.S. even if you get a 240 any Turbo 7 is gonna kick your ass.

REally. I can't stand when people put 180sx on a 240sx. I'm always like "What engine do you have in there?"

Yes a Turbo 7 is gonna beat you unless you plan on dumping some money in your car. Well its gonna be that way with pretty much any inexpensive car unless you get a deal on something.

What is the RX-7s Potential?

Are you serious? People have 800whp street driven FDs, they are monster cars, not quite as powerful as the 2JZ, but it's right up there.

[monooxide]

nope wasnt kidding I dont know much about the platform...I have an okay idea of how the Rotorary works but...nothing about the FC3S or the 13B? i think

[TatII]

FC's aren't as potent as the FD's. they ahve 1000whp FD's also, however they are from triple turbo charged 20B tri rotor engines swapped in.

stock wise a RX-7 TT can run a mid 13. they take mods well, the only problem is with the fuel management. you need to get either a ECU reflash or a power FC before you can really crank up the power or else you'll blow those engines quick.

i went to one of my friends RX-7 meets. they got two there with very nice V- mount intercooler setups, and two of them made over 400whp. one on stock turbos, one on a large single turbo upgrade.

[D-Bo]

man its good that i didn't fuck that guy up.. this didn't turn out too bad as a thread.. the fc and fd are only potential competition for the 240.. its good to know what we're going up against..

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

I think the FD is more in the $30k sports car territory, such as 300zx, 350z, Supras, C5 Vettes, M3, Evo, STi and so on. maybe even Eclipse GSX, i've seen a vid of one smokin a 750hp Supra.

240s are more the lower level of the power playing field. such as MAYBE FC's (cuz they can be monster's too, possibly in that upper level), turbo MR2's, Celica GT-S, Eclipse GST, V6 Stang's , and so on and so on.
these days its kinda hard to honestly compare cars cuz mods can be taken to new heights in different aspects of each car. but still, comparing a 240 to FD isnt too fair. its like compraing Sammy Sosa to Mark McGwire, McGwire got more steroids therefore he's bigger and badder.

but you know, when i honestly think about it, what other budget RWD sports car do we have to compete with? i can't think of any.

[logik23]

The FC is a budget RWD car, besides, MKIV TT Supras run like 35grand here, TT FDs are like 18, and TT Z32s are likes 20, so those aren't Supra status. And M3s (late model) are like 60-70 used so......

All prices are CDN btw.

y not just tune your civic???
